Red Eagle Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Finally, after long-standing waiting period I have succeeded in getting a rather early EK II of 1870/71 for less than 200 euro (from Ebay).This was my limit what I wanted to spend on such a piece. The trade prices from partial more than 400 euro I was not ready to invest. Unfortunately, these chances become rarer and rarer.It weighs 17.4 gr and misses 41.8 mm over the cross arms. The tape ring has a diameter of 16.4 mm.No manufacturer's marks.It is in a good preservation and shows minimal wear tracks. The frame is closed round-around and soldered substantially. The magnetic iron core is poured, like in this quality commonly, in detail.The black color is rubbed off only on the raised surfaces a little bit. From design, quality and appearance for me a definite, contemporary piece which complements my documents in addition in the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
